Editing Template:Uw-translation

{{{icon|[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]}}} Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>BASEPAGENAME}}|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{1|}}}|[[:{{{1|}}}]]|one or more pages}} to {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{to|}}}|[[:{{{to|}}}]]|another page}}. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, [[WP:Copyrights|Wikipedia's licensing]] '''requires that you provide attribution''' to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an '''[[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]''' on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and [[Help:Link#Wikilinks|linking]] it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given [[WP:TFOLWP|here]]. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution '''[[WP:RIA|must be given retroactively]]''', for example:
: <code><nowiki>NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.</nowiki></code> 
Retroactive attribution may be added using a [[WP:DUMMY|dummy edit]]; see [[WP:RIA|Repairing insufficient attribution]].
It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must [[WP:RIA|add attribution retrospectively]], even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at [[WP:TFOLWP|Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia]]. {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} <!-- Template:uw-translation --><noinclude>
